Gary Goodyear has Got to Go! Now!

Question: Mr. Goodyear, do you believe in evolution?

I'm not going to answer that question. I am a Christian, and I don't think anybody asking a question about my religion is appropriate

What the fuck?! Um, Gary...that's a question about science, asshole. If you don't "believe" in evolution, then you're not qualified to be the fucking federal Minister of State for fucking Science and Technology. When did religious numbnuts get the reins of science in Canada?

“It is the same as asking the gentleman, ‘Do you believe the world is flat?' and he doesn't answer on religious grounds...Or gravity, or plate tectonics, or that the Earth goes around the sun.” Brian Alters - founder and director of the Evolution Education Research Centre at McGill University

Exactly. Write letters immediately to get this fucking asshole out of that office. Let him go back to chiropractic where ridiculous ideas are par for the course.

Things I Doubt: Ray Comfort & Kirk Cameron's ability to put together a decent argument...or a decent sandwich, for that matter; Oprah Winfrey's judgment about anything; Jenny McCarthy's anatomical conformity, by which I mean, I think she has neither a brain nor a heart; Jim Carrey's status as a Canadian - am I allowed to unilaterally decline that?; believers in acupuncture and their ability to accept that it is a fantasy; and the justness of a world where I am not rich for my truly amazing humor but Reality TV "stars" continue to rake in the cash.
